Christmas

I'm camped out upstairs in my room in the dark. Max is crashed beside me in bed. Every now and then he lets out a snort or says "no mama!". But for the most part I'm alone here.

Christmas has been awesome. Christmas Eve Eve was fun. I hung out at Suzie's and Kim and Cindy were there. The highlight of the evening was when Kim slapped Cindy up side her head for saying something completely not ok in the world of women who have got.it.going.on. We don't let people fuck with us or our friends and if they do, we slap our friends in the head til they stop tolerating it too. Then I came home and the neighbors came over. Many drinks were involved. fun.

Christmas Eve was a blast. I made dinner for some friends and our family. I'd never made prime rib before but my dad is a huge fan of it and he said I did it just as well as any restaurant. Booyah! I admit my creme brulees did not set up, but that's dan's fault. It always is, right?

Christmas morning was uh-maz-ing. The kids got so much stuff. I think they were all happy. BUT...Jake got me a kitchenaid mixer. I mean, the real one...the kind that I can't afford. I'm so happy I could cry. I did cry. My son...the one who sometimes forgets he's not the only human in the world...got me an effing amazing gift without prompting. He happened to hear me and my sister-in-law talking about it and he bought it for me. There's so much more than the gift that speaks volumes here...he heard something and thought about it in advance and acted on it. I think maybe he's going to be an awesome man or at least an awesome husband some day.

Then we went to moms. There was abundance everywhere. We had gifts and food and drink and love to the point where we all just needed to rest. So we came home and here I am...hiding upstairs. The rest of them are downstairs playing wii and I'm wearing my Christmas pajamas in bed with Max in the dark and life is just great.

That's so awesome about the kitchenaid mixer!! You did something right raising that child. I can't wait till I have a house with enough space so I can get one! Merry Christmas!
